Thread: Why Do I Need New Volume E ?

The first time that I tried to save a Photoshopped image my laptop wouldn't ket me do it . I got messages saying my Hard Disk was full when it definitely wasn't .
So I was told I needed to divide my storage .
I did that - though I don't remember how I managed to do that . I'm interested but I'm not paralysed with interest .

Anyway ... the result is that I have a 'C' area and this new area called New Volume (E) and it's all a pain .

I mess around with an image . Try to save it . Get a message telling me my storage is full when in fact I have 1.18TB free of 1.48TB .
So I have to save again and send it to this "E" storage .

It's a pain in the bum .

I can't save images to the Desktop or in fact anywhere else at all except this pesky new 'E'.
If anybody can explain this ..... or preferably tell me how to fix it I would be very grateful.

Move some files from C to E to clear space in C.

My point here is that the C Drive ... has pretty much nothing in it .

I process something and type a " Save As " name onto it -- Press Save -- and the damn thing says there is no Disk space .
But there is !! There is 1.18 TB empty . There's loads and loads of empty space in there .

So I have to retype the name and send it to New Volume E .

There's a fault somewhere but I can't identify it or fix it .


BALDRICK ........... I started to look at that video.
What it shows me most of all is something that I keep forgetting . My first Port of Call should be Youtube of course .
So much help on there . So I'll scan my way through there and its bound to help .

Thank you for the pointer.

Do yourself a favour and take it to a shop and swap it for an iPad, you fukkin dinosaur

Open File Explorer if you are on Windows

Right click on your C drive

Click Properties

Then you will see used space and free space on that drive

When you partitioned it you probably went a bit far

There are hidden folders in that C drive to stop computer cretins like yourself deleting the important stuff like the operating system

Wasp ... just quietly, just do a virus check on the computer.
Some manifest themselves in the strangest ways.

Failing that ... Dilly's suggestion of a computer shop is good.

Maybe he isn't a poofter.

To delete a partition on a hard drive, follow the steps below. Warning: Deleting a partition will permanently erase any data that is presently stored on it. Press the Windows key or click the Start button. Type Create and format hard disk partitions, and then press Enter.

To get started, open Disk Utility by searching for it using Spotlight or finding it in Applications > Utilities. Next, click on the partition that you want to delete in the left panel. With your partition selected, click the Erase button at the top of Disk Utility. This will bring up a window with an Erase button.

Sounds like it is a partition Wasp

So is it only PS that won't let you save to C: ?

Can you save a text file from notepad on C: ?

How about a screenshot pasted into MS paint ?

If you went to all the bother of doing a partition before checking these then...

Is it a photoshop copy that has installation settings making it expect an E drive?

If instead of creating a new E partition, you stuck in a usb stick, wouldn't it pop up as the E drive? Check your installition configuration files.

this is another reason why 99% of the people shouldn't own a computer or be left alone with one

buy a fucking iPad, that's what it was designed for

You included, obviously.

Apart from the unnecessary language ..... what do you mean " that's what it was designed for " ?

It's an awful lot easier to use a mouse with a laptop than faffing around with a pad !

Troy .... I bought Photoshop some time ago at a ' proper ' computer outlet in a Mall in Korat . It was supposed to be the genuine article .
It was always fine but on this newest laptop I installed it again from my disks and have always had this problem .

It's not a big problem . A small stone in your shoe is not a big problem either .
Just an annoyance.

I was actually thinking of you when I wrote that, you and your call center mentality

Its a problem with older versions of PS not recognising drives over 1TB


Uninstall PS then re-install it on the your E drive.
If its installed on E then uninstall and re-install on C drive

Thinking isn't one of your strong points.

maybe carefully download something like this
Download MiniTool Partition Wizard 10.2 For Free

https://www.partitionwizard.com/download.html


watch this but move the extra space from E to C

But if I'm drawing on Sketchup or redesigning plans for a church ( my present project )

You doing the church on sketchup ?
Are a master at it now....
or are your moved models still sinking into the house floor.

I always like sketchup or cad threads here

Appreciated Dilly ...... but I won't mess with it that much .

I used ' Paint ' last night to save a photo to the Desktop and it was fine .... so it's definitely the PS that has the problem .

I think you've hit it when you say it's an old PS version which has trouble recognising storage over 1 TB .

I'll leave the small stone in my shoe and limp away from this now.
